I read Das Boot by by Lothar Gunther Buchheim years ago and I think in that book he said the Type VII had two toilets but the one was always used for stores so wasn’t available until the end of the patrol.
That is assuming I even identified the craft in your photo correctly ,It’s been a very long time since my Silent Hunter days and major sub interest. : )

They went with the same buying spirit as with tanks and airplanes. Bit of a poor tree but totally doable.
Shayetet 7 is the only submarine flotilla of the Israeli Navy. It is based in Haifa naval base and operates Dolphin-class submarines. It was established in 1959 and is considered an elite unit due to the nature of its services.
The service in the submarine fleet is difficult, challenging and often far from the country's borders, so the submarine crews have to be very cohesive. Another derivative of the great distance from the country's borders is that the submarine crew is operationally competen...

Ah yes you’re right. I mixed the two classes up
Important to note that it 's a map object, not a vehicle:

For German late war Uboats the Albreich coating would be a cool modification. Like on the Type VIIC U-480

Updates from the 2.38 devserver, so far:
Some kind of change to depth charges:
An unused loadout for depth charges on the PBY-5, also the first ever loadout for depth charges on an aircraft:

G7e torpedo used by the submarine in the Battle of the Atlantic event last year has had it 's range increased, from 2000m up to 5000m ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1f73plv/2370169_238015_part_5/ ).
Presets for the inclusion of submarine-specific spawn locations to NF maps have been introduced:
Seems like they might be placed in a location separate from the coastal, and bluewater light/heavy spawns.
Examples of regular spawn locations:

Fixing the artificially-nerfed-for-event torpedoes and adding spawn locations are both huge additions! :O

Hopefully we get submarines this year. I have been rooting for this since the addition of war thunder naval. Literally GTA 6 before Submarines in WT. It looks like I’m getting engaged before Submarines in WT…
